Last month, we spotted a near production version of the 2018 BMW X7 before it rolls out from the company's plant in Spartanburg plant, in the US. While BMW gets ready for its global premiere in December this year, the earlier spy shots suggested that several of the exterior parts and equipment are already production-ready. Now, new images have surfaced which gives a clear view of what's inside the 2018 BMW X7. The cabin shares its design with the new BMW X3, the BMW 5 Series and even the BMW 7 Series.

Moreover, the SUV is also based on the company's CLAR modular platform, which underpins the 7 Series and the X5.
